Borovsk is a small and very old city located not far from Moscow. It's a unique place imbued with history and housing more than 50 churches. Until the recent moment, the city was virtually dying. Its condition was really bad and most of its population (15.000

people) moved to Moscow. Neither city nor church authorities wanted to restore it... Fortunately, there was an artist who wished to bring it to life. He painted people on the walls and windows of the buildings, and the city became alive again!

The fact that Krasnoyarsk has a subway or rather is under construction is not known to many. The project is underway and it is predicted to start operation in 2012 with 3 stations. The project is meant to have 3

lines and over 30 stations. The construction began way back in 1993, but due to lack of funds it was stalled. Currently, the construction has resumed and work is at full swing to meet the 2012 deadline.
